Why is Janmashtami on Thu 12 Aug in Sevan?

Janmashtami is on Thu 12 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.

Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:54 Thu. Ashtami: 04:54 Thu to 03:16 Fri.

Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 01:45 Fri–02:25 Fri. Ashtami: 04:54 to 03:16 Fri.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 04:54 on Thu 12 Aug to 03:16 on Fri 13 Aug, so only Thursday night’s nishitha (01:45 Fri–02:25 Fri) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.

The rule

Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta.

Smarta: the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
Vaishnava: a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
